Think in a New Way

The Korean language is very rich, and its vocabulary is hard to learn. The Hanja Explorer
is an innovative tool that helps you study Korean vocabulary by visualizing
the meaning and the similarities of different words.

What is Hanja?

Korean language has evolved over time; borrowing words from different languages. Hanja
means 'chinese character', and about 70% of Korean vocabulary uses Hanja in some form. Something
that's great about Hanja is that they can be mixed and matched to create new words. With Hanja Explorer,
you'll be able to explore the Hanja in Korean.

Why study Hanja?

Traditional education of Korean as a foreign language has largely ignored the role of Hanja
in the study of Korean vocabulary. On the other hand, materials that are specific for the
study of hanja place too high a value in learning how to write a character, making the process
slow and difficult. These practices are not useful, nor practical.

Here, you'll learn what are the building blocks of words; and you will be able to
use them when writing and reading Korean right away. Korean Hanjas will help you learn way faster.

Study anywhere

The Hanja Explorer will work on your computer, your tablet, or your phone; so that you can
study wherever and however you want.

About the Hanja Explorer.

The Hanja Explorer is developed by Pablo Estrada. I got this idea
while I myself was studying Korean in Busan, in 2013. It took me a couple of years to finally get on to
building that idea. Now I study any Hanja in Korean, to improve my vocabulary.

The layouts and styling of the website are based on Yahoo's Pure. It's a
wonderful framework for pure CSS styling of websites. It's my first front end framework, and I'm quite
fond of it.
